Which dog to choose for the apartment? Can I choose a large, medium sized dog?

There is a question: "Which dog to choose?"

Which dog to choose for the apartment? Can I choose a large, medium sized dog? Better boy or girl?

I like to repeat the phrase: "The dog is not chosen for the apartment, but for the owner." It is possible both large and medium. What matters is not the size, color or type of coat, but the temperament of the dog. If you ski and bike, ride out of town, you need to take an active dog. If you prefer to walk lazily in the park for a short time, you should take a calm one. There are active and calm among both small and large breeds. The size of the dog is important only if you don’t have a car (it’s easier to transport a small one by public transport) or if you have some financial problems (a big dog just eats a lot more).

Beginners who have a first dog are usually advised to bitch. It is believed that they are more affectionate and complaisant. However, in reality it is a matter of taste: both the male and the female have their own pros and cons. In principle, the s.. of the dog is not so important. The main thing is to choose the right breed, then the puppy's parents (to be healthy and adequate), and then to raise it correctly, and then the problems will be minimized with both the male and the female.

Dog from the movie "Mask"

Millions of people fall in love with the wonderful and brilliant comedy filmed in 1994. It’s simply impossible not to fall in love with the dog from the movie The Mask. After watching the film, children and adults dream of having a smart and cute dog. A dog from the Mask is one of the best breeds today!

I always liked males. I understand intellectually that girls are better, so to speak, more convenient, but I prefer dogs with all their twigs. If the dog is the first, then do not take a serious dog. Miss - your place will be at the door on the rug. Read more about the features of the breed on pedigree "branches" on the Internet.

In any case, choose only for you. You can even keep a very large dog in the apartment, provided that it walks and practices well with it. Look for photos of dogs, choose photos of dogs you like (purely outwardly), find out a breed, read about a breed, compare whether it suits your lifestyle and choose the breed that you like outwardly and suit your lifestyle. This includes: can you surprise a lot of time with grooming, engage in serious training, walk for a long time and so on. Do you need a security guard, or maybe an athlete or just a companion for long walks?

About a boy or girl. Wallpaper is equally trained. Girls are much trickier, but more responsible in their tasks. Boys are mostly playful blockheads.

First decide what kind of dog you need, playful or calm, couch or requiring long walks, a guard breed, or one that you yourself will guard it =)

size value does not play. . maybe a dog, which is huge, but in the apartment takes a minimum of space. 

and about s.., I advise the girl to take it, since the kid will scream for every other dog, and then "have" (sorry, but it is) your legs, toys, cat, etc. and also can mark at home = (

and the girl 2 times a year estrus for 3 weeks - during this period, you need to walk carefully. . and that’s it. . the problems are over. . and girls are obedient. . a guy who teaches heat is deaf. . (there are exceptions, but most often this happens)

Well, firstly it is up to you and only you. It depends on a lot. From your lifestyle first. Secondly, answer yourself - Why do you need a dog? for what? For protection? for work? just a plush toy? Do you have children? Not all breeds are ready to become a nanny to a young owner. Each dog was for some reason bred. And to choose a dog only in appearance - the idiocy of pure water. Choose several breeds whose containment and psychological characteristics are best for you. and choose from them.

And, perhaps, the most important thing - no matter what breed you choose, even if it will be miniature breeds now fashionable - remember that a dog is a dog! do not humanize the animal! Otherwise, from a small dog you may begin to have big problems! !

Good luck to you! Animals are a great happiness in the house !!!!
